Hey Geoff,

Thank you so much for taking a look into this. I really appreciate it.

I have an Asus A8N5X motherboard whose BIOS does not seem to have any
dual display settings at all. But I'll have a closer inspection again in
a minute. If anything turns up, I'll add it to this thread.

I only have one display connected via VGA. The HDMI and DVI ports are
presently not used, although I had intended to use DVI (a new display)
and HDMI (LED TV set) in the future.

However, I think I should mention that my system freezes much earlier, a
long time before gdm should even come up. I got the blinking cursor when
the first UBUNTU splashscreen (with the dots) should have appeared.
Aside from Ctrl-Alt-Del not working, a short tap on the power button
(ACPI off) does not help, either. I really need to power down.

With my present Nouveau-free (!) setup I do not see any UBUNTU
splashscreen at all. Ubuntu remains on the text console during the
entire boot operation. Only when gdm comes up it starts in graphics mode
using the proprietary nVidia driver.

I hope some of this information is helpful and I keep my fingers crossed
that we will be able to resolve this issue. After all, it sure is a
showstopper for Ubuntu newbies.

Best,
Martin
